Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for inserting scalability and view information into an MPEG-2 transport stream header. Scalability information or view information for scalable video or multi-view video, respectively present in a payload portion at a TS level, may be used when the scalable video or the multi-view video are transmitted via an MPEG-2 system. Using the scalability information or view information, TS-packetized scalable video or multi-view video may be efficiently adapted to terminals having various levels of performance, various network characteristics, and in accordance with a specific preference of a user.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for interlayer intra-prediction, and the method for interlayer intra-prediction, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: deciding whether to apply an interlayer prediction to an enhancement layer; and performing a prediction on a current block of the enhancement layer based on reference information that is generalized and generated from a reference picture, which is decoded, of a reference layer, when the interlayer prediction is applied.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a Medium Grained Scalability (MGS)-to-Advanced Video Coding (AVC) transform apparatus which modifies an accumulated residual signal of at least one MGS layer of a key picture, included in an MGS-based Scalable Video Coding (SVC) bitstream, and rewrite the MGS-based SVC bitstream into an AVC bitstream.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for generating a substream ID usable in transmitting media content based on a plurality of scenarios, and allocating the substream ID for transmitting media. A method for allocating an ID for transmitting media content comprises: a step of generating a substream ID containing information required for transmitting the media content based on a certain scenario from among a plurality of scenarios; and a step of transmitting the substream ID to a client. According to the present invention, a header for the transmission of media may be simplified, media content may be transmitted regardless of the number of ports, number of servers, and presence/absence of additional information, an application to be introduced in the future may be used, and backward compatibility for an existing media content transmission system may be provided.

Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for accessing service discovery metadata. MPEG AIT devices can access discovery metadata of different schemes using an MXM-based generic protocol. End-consumer devices, description service provider devices and IPTV service provider devices can exchange metadata by means of the above-described access method, and further modification and addition of metadata schemes are supported.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an image encoding/decoding method and device supporting a plurality of layers. The image decoding method supporting the plurality of layers comprises the steps receiving a bitstream comprising the plurality of layers; and decoding the bitstream so as to acquire maximum number information about sublayers with respect to each of the plurality of layers.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for providing a media content performed by a client and by a server, a client for providing a media content, and a server for providing a media content. The method comprises: transmitting a request for the media content to a server based on a Media Presentation Description (MPD) of the media content; and receiving a segment of the media content based on the MPD, from the server. The MPD includes one or more periods, the period includes one or more adaptation sets, the adaptation set includes one or more representations, the representation includes one or more segments, the period is defined based on a period element including a start attribute and a duration attribute, and each of the representations starts from a start time of the period and continues to an ending point of the period. The start time of the period is determined one of below methods: i) when a start attribute exists in a first period element of the first period, a start time of the first period is equal to the start attribute, ii) when a start attribute does not exist in the first period element of the first period, and when a second period element of the second period includes a duration attribute, the start time of the first period is determined by adding the duration attribute of the second period element to a start time of the second period, and iii) when a start attribute does not exist in the first period element of the first period, and when the first period is the first of the one or more periods, the start time of the first period is set to 0. The second period is previous period with respect to the first period.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image information decoding method. The decoding method includes receiving a bit stream including a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit that includes information related to an encoded image, and parsing a NAL unit header of the NAL unit. The NAL unit header may not include 1-bit flag information that represents whether a picture is a non-reference picture or a reference picture in the entire bit stream during encoding.
